Sustainable Future Network

Sustainable Future Network project aims to develop a network and promote the exchange of knowledge and good practices among Norwegian and Romanian professors, researchers and practitioners on renewable energy, energy efficiency and the circular economy and at the same time raising awareness among the general public.

Due to the limited duration of the project implementation (6 months) we decided to restrict our areas of intervention in three main areas: 1 Renewable Energies (wind and solar energy, hydrogen technologies); Energetic Efficiency; and Circular economy in relation to the development of the energy industry and waste. All activities in our project are thought to be related to one or all of these topics. The aim is to foster collaborations about these themes as a starting level, in the future optics of developing and launching an elective course at university level with the collaboration of both countries and professors.

The concrete results of this project can be described as follows:

  • 4 online meetings through International Online HUB (3h each)
  • 1 handbook with the collection of all good practices/study cases developed within the Hub
  • 2 field visits in Norway and Romania
  • 1 round table with representatives of the Constanta authorities and some stakeholders who work in the area with a view for future collaborations
  • 1 video testimonials
  • 1 article in specialty newspapers and 1 press releases

Partners: Ovidius University of Constanta (Romania – applicant), Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (Norway) and Cosvitec Est (Romania).

CleanTech Nexus Accelerator

Green Energy for Everyone – GEE

GEE – Green Energy for Everyone is a project funded with the support of grants from Innovation Norway, provided by Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway through the EEA Financial Mechanism 2014-2021, within the “Energy Program in Romania.”

GEE strives to initiate a transition to renewable energy sources. Romania, with significant potential in wind, solar, and hydropower energy, has a compelling need to efficiently harness these resources. According to Eurostat data in 2020, Romania generated 12.4% of electricity from wind energy, 3.4% from photovoltaic solar, and 27.6% from hydropower. The total contribution of renewable energy sources was 16%.

During and after the project, we would like to publish the following materials and activities:

  • Launch conference
  • Developing a course on renewable energy sources
  • A workshop for the general public on the renewable energy sector
  • A roundtable discussion with SMEs in the renewable energy sector, encouraging collaboration and knowledge exchange.

Through this project, we will directly engage with 600 participants through all our activities, and we aim for our information to reach 24,000 people.
